I just ran across this cool Green Cleansing Smoothie recipe from Laura Machell where she shares STACKS of healthy detox information. Laura gives great info on the nutritional value of each ingredient and explains why she found it worthwhile going for a more sophisticated recipe than usual.
You’ll discover real insights into how these items help cleanse and detoxify your body. It all adds up to a wealth of great new ideas for your own smoothie recipes.
Check out the recipe below and let me know what you think.
Why did Laura go for this sophisticated recipe when we all like to think “simple”?
My original morning smoothie only had 6 ingredients. This one has 14.
You might be wondering why in the world I would trade-in such a simple recipe for such a complex one. Well, because the complexity of ingredients is what makes this new smoothie SO POWERFUL.
The changes I saw and felt once I swapped morning smoothie recipes was crazy! I thought I was doing great before, but I had no idea.
my skin is spotless,
I have SO much energy, and
my under eye circles have virtually disappeared.
I’ve notice dark spots on my skin, marks that just refuse to completely heal, that have just vanished.
I can’t even begin to imagine how my body is benefiting internally!!
There is no way I can deny the powerful affects these new detoxifying ingredients are having.
Trust me, I am never going back to the beginners 6. From now on I am all in!
Here's Laura's ingredient benefits summaries
Just look what healthy benefits these ingredients can provide for you ...
Spinach/Kale: These leafy greens are both great sources of amino acids (protein), calcium, beta carotene (vitamin A), vitamin K, iron, manganese, magnesium, zinc, folate, and selenium. All around super foods, spinach and kale are great for strengthening the body, creating beautiful skin, boosting the immune system, and providing important antioxidants. Also, each is full of fiber which is great for cleansing the colon!
Romaine: Contains vitamin C and beta carotene (vitamin A). These two nutrients work together in the body to prevent plaque from forming on artery walls. It is also a good source of potassium, folate, iron, vitamin K, manganese, vitamins B1 and B2, and chromium. Romaine helps to regulate blood pressure, build blood, and support body movement.
Cucumber: Highly hydrating, cucumbers are full of B vitamins, silica, and electrolytes that help build clearer, brighter skin. The vitamin C, caffeic acid, and electrolytes in cucumbers makes them great at fighting puffiness and bloating in the body, working as an anti-inflammatory team.
